Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and intended to replace SCSI.

This is an experimental support for storage arrays connected to your computer using optical fibre cables and the "X3.269-199X Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI" specification. If you want to use this, you need to say Y here and to "SCSI support" as well as to the drivers for the storage array itself and for the interface adapter such as SOC or SOC+. This subsystem could even serve for IP networking, with some code extensions.

If unsure, say N.

"FC4 drivers"

depends on FC4

Option: FC4_SOC

Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...

(on/off/module) Sun SOC/Sbus

depends on FC4!=n && SPARC

Serial Optical Channel is an interface card with one or two Fibre Optic ports, each of which can be connected to a disk array. Note that if you have older firmware in the card, you'll need the microcode from the Solaris driver to make it work.

To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called soc.

Option: FC4_SOCAL

Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...

(on/off/module) Sun SOC+ (aka SOCAL)

depends on FC4!=n && SPARC

Serial Optical Channel Plus is an interface card with up to two Fibre Optic ports. This card supports FC Arbitrated Loop (usually A5000 or internal FC disks in E[3-6]000 machines through the Interface Board). You'll probably need the microcode from the Solaris driver to make it work.

To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called social.

"FC4 targets"

depends on FC4

Option: SCSI_PLUTO

Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...

(on/off/module) SparcSTORAGE Array 100 and 200 series

depends on FC4!=n && SCSI

If you never bought a disk array made by Sun, go with N.

To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called pluto.
